Conservative
columnist Ann Coulter said on Tuesday that she has heard
throughout the years about allegations of sexual harassment
against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, but never experienced any
discrimination personally.

"I know about the allegations," Coulter told Business Insider in
an interview, adding that she "never really met" Ailes because he
"never hired" her to work at the cable-news network.

"I have heard the allegations before," she said. "Obviously, I've
never experienced it. I've barely ever met him. I have met him
socially."

Coulter, however, did reveal a "funny little footnote" that she
said she was reminded of when former "Fox & Friends" cohost
Gretchen Carlson
filed her shock lawsuit against the Fox News chairman.

"I have always said, 'Oh come on! I don't believe this. If any of
this were true someone would bring a lawsuit!'" Coulter said. "I
am being reminded of that this week."

Coulter was never formally employed by the network, but she has
been a frequent guest on many of its shows for years. The
conservative firebrand spoke to Business Insider after
participating in an election debate with CNN political
commentator Sally Kohn at New York City's Comedy Cellar on
Tuesday night.
